Supreme Court allows more exemptions to President Trump's travel ban. The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld a federal court judge's order expanding the number of immigrants from six Muslim-majority nations who can enter the country under President Trump's temporary travel ban. The justices refused the administration's request that they clarify their June 26 decision allowing the travel ban to take effect, except for close relatives of U.S. Citizens and refugees with a direct connection to resettlement agencies.

Federal judge temporarily blocks Texas 'sanctuary cities' law, which would allow police to ask immigration status. In a 94-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia wrote that there "Is overwhelming evidence by local officials, including local law enforcement, that SB 4 will erode public trust and make many communities and neighborhoods less safe." The law had been cheered by President Trump's administration but decried by immigrants' rights groups. Ref. USAToday.
And why is it illegal for police to find out if someone is breaking one of our laws? I don't quite understand that. Are police not allowed now to try and catch criminals? And yes, people breaking our immigration laws are breaking the law. I think by definition that makes them criminals.
I would say that this judge needs to be voted out by the people in the next election. HE seems to be in favor for criminals breaking the law. Our towns and cities are already becoming more unsafe by criminals out breaking laws. Some of them are getting more and more violent too.
If no one believes that we had a child get jumped by a bunch of kids and his arm broken in two places for wearing what they considered the wrong color shirt to school. If we have to start worrying about wearing this or that as to not offend someone then we are no longer free to choose freedoms of expression. The police need to be able to do their jobs.
Former President Barack Obama bashed President Donald Trump's decision to rescind DACA, an immigration order shielding some children of undocumented immigrants from deportation.
"To target these young people is wrong -- because they have done nothing wrong," Obama wrote in a Facebook post. "It is self-defeating -- because they want to start new businesses, staff our labs, serve in our military, and otherwise contribute to the country we love. And it is cruel."
Just before leaving office in January, Obama told reporters that he would speak out sparingly in his post-presidency. The lengthy statement is among his most forceful since departing office. He sharply criticized Trump's motives and insisted rescinding the program -- called DACA -- was not legally required. Ref. CNN.
I think we have coddled the illegal element in this nation for far too long. "They have done nothing wrong" argument is always heard. They are illegal ILLEGAL means you broke a law. SO they have done nothing wrong is a false statement as they came over here illegally. I think we need to use the money to help those who are here legally and those who are American citizens before we help Illegal people.
